"The deep purple-hued 2022 Hermitage Les Diognières shows a classic Hermitage profile, unwinding with intense notes of black cherry, graphite, dried meat, cedar and a touch of violet. Red plum tones add more complexity. Full-bodied, powerful and layered, the majestic 2022 outperforms the 2021, literally showing more of everything. The focused finish lasts over 60 seconds, confirming a red Hermitage of outstanding quality."

"Checking in at 13% alcohol, the medium-bodied 2021 Hermitage Les Diognières exhales vivid raspberry compote, cloves, wet tea bag, vanilla and blackcurrant aromatics. Structured and complex, this is a delicious 2021, nicely framed by ripe tannins and bright acidity. It should drink well right out of the gate."
